It’s time for some awesome old school (and new school) rave shit. Get ready.

GLOWKiD’s Gen X Show features guests, hardcore, jungle, old school, new school, breaks, straight up PLUR-era mixes. (I shouldn’t say PLUR-era, as I want to ‘KEEP THAT PLUR ALIVE,’ so I’ll just say it’s definitely got the old school spirit, plurred out (not a word or phrase) as fuck! Real rave style.

BTW , mixcloud embeds all funny (bad-funny) so scroll down to get the mixes after you hear each one. Thanks!)

There are lots of other mixes but i figure once you click on one you can find em all, there’s tons of mixes here!

I just got interviewed by Keri Bellybelle on her awesome podcast, last night!! She hosts the 10:30 Podcas and during this week’s episode, she asked me ten questions, some about music, some about zombies and travel and fast food. It was a very fun episode, and I’m happy with how it came out! Thanks again, Keri!!

“Instant Spam Response” is the name of this week’s episode of The TrainWreckers Podcast, hosted by Uncommon Sense, KidLogic, Slurgeon, Lurky, & Ghostmode. It’s a fun episode, and I would expect nothing less from these crazy Portland Muhfuckaz. They talk about self-promotion, the importance of being original in music, and they do a book report on StrangeFlow’s “Guerilla Blueprints for Creative Passive Income” (available now, on the right scroll bar of Bassadelic.com, or in the ‘store’ tab) and go into detail about my favorite chapter of the book, about greyhacking.

Greyhacking is about finding the grey and uncharted territory in between two different niches, and exploiting it. Basically, carving out your own little area, musically and conceptually, and owning it. One good example is making an “unofficial soundtrack” for a comic book. Who knows, maybe you can get some fans or actual artists/writers of the comic book to take notice, and maybe they’ll mention you in their next comic. That’s just one example to get you started, but there are tons of different ideas in the ‘Guerilla Blueprints’ book to help electronic musicians get going on creating something truly unique, fun, entertaining (and profitable).

Anyway, I’m really fucking stoked that the TrainWreckers Podcast mentioned the site and the book. Those guys rock! Check out their newest episode here or here.

What usually happens is this: I’ll click on a podcast, hope for the best, and be disappointed, and then irritated, and then angry, and then hungry.

NOT THIS TIME, FUCKERS!

TrainWreckers is a dope podcast based out of Portland. When these dudes talk about electronic music, you can tell they know what they’re talking about. They rant articulately about music they’re diggin… music they’re NOT diggin… and actually, the latter is my favorite part. There’s been a revolution in electronically-produced music, which means there has been a lot of great music to come out – but even more TERRIBLE music… Obviously, that’s a natural process sometimes; the frustrating part, however, is that the worst electronic music tends to get way more hype than it deserves, both from un-knowledgeable musicians as well as from the Old Guard of culture, who knows nothing about good music but still pulls the levers and operates the machinery to jam bad music down all of our poor and unsuspecting throats..

In the newest episode (they’re on their fifth, as of yesterday) they talk about the Al Walser Grammy controversy, as well as bring on special guest, PwnTony (AKA The Starpilot). It is a good, long podcast, and it really is great to throw on and chill out to. I recommend the shit out of it!
